“What if I said let’s have a contest to see who can jump over the Shiree River,” I said to the group. They all started laughing and saying no…except one man. He said, “Okay!” Shocked, Brother Shadrick questioned him, “You’d try to jump across the River?” “Yes, in faith!” he replied. I told him thatContinue reading “Jumping the Shiree River”

Never Sinned!
“I’ve never sinned.” “I’m not praying to God! He took my kids away!” This is what an elderly lady named Fatima has said…and yet she desperately wanted to be baptized! She cried when others were baptized because, even though she didn’t want to talk to God, she wanted to be baptized. She has been heavyContinue reading “Never Sinned!”
Blessings
As we step from the van in Phokera, we are immediately greeted by a few of our kids there. All smiling and ready to carry things for us. I looked up to see Sammy running from the truck towards us, holding his tie up in the air. Following closely behind were three, little, mischievous boys,Continue reading “Blessings”
Baptisms & New Church
There is so much to write about, but I can’t seem to organize my thoughts enough to put them into words. Every time I begin to write, someone starts talking to me. Talking hasn’t been much easier lately either. (I say this somewhat jokingly). The other week I told one of the guards that theContinue reading “Baptisms & New Church”
Through the Power of HIS Words
We are still here, and all is well! There are many struggling with malaria right now, but God has protected us so far. The church here in our village is being reorganized and we are slowly working toward turning it over to national leadership. I haven’t been teaching at this children’s ministry as I’ve beenContinue reading “Through the Power of HIS Words”
Training the Next Generation
Saturday we sat outside the gate on benches waiting as some of the men swept off the back of the truck. Then they loaded the benches into the back. Most of us sit on the benches, but a few people stand at the front near the cab. The plan was to go to the newContinue reading “Training the Next Generation”
Mango Thieves and Unreached Villages
It has been a longtime since I’ve written a post, and there has been so much to write about! The internet has worked so poorly that I think it takes away any motivation. It can take hours to a day to post anything. I just keep hitting retry. Because the internet comes in spurts, messagesContinue reading “Mango Thieves and Unreached Villages”
Safety is of the Lord
We had been waiting over thirty minutes and I was starting to get restless. We were sitting at the carpenter’s waiting for some furniture that I had ordered Jessica for Christmas. The carpenter was finishing it up when we arrived and said it would be ready in about 30 minutes. I considered coming back later,Continue reading “Safety is of the Lord”
One Year!
December 1st marks 1 year that we have been in Malawi! I want to say it’s crazy – but it feels like we’ve just always been here. The Lord has allowed me to live such a full life, that sometimes it feels like I’ve lived several lives…some just memories. Each time the Lord has broughtContinue reading “One Year!”
Keeping Busy
We have now met at the church property in Phokera 4 Sundays! It has been exciting to see the changes each week. That first Sunday, Shadrick and I were dropped off at the old meeting place, and our old group of kids began to gather. Together we walked to the new property. I was soContinue reading “Keeping Busy”
